Abstract

In the present research, an overview of the wind climate on the northwestern coast of the Black Sea basin is assessed, using a total of 6 years of data (2015–2020) provided by the National Institute of Marine Geology and Geoecology (GeoEcoMar). It is well known that the enclosed/semi-enclosed basins are complex environments and to accurately represent the features of wind and wave are necessary high resolution spatial fields. For the Black Sea, which is an enclosed basin with complicated regional geography, the main weather parameters reported (wind direction, wind speed, air temperature, air pressure) give a more comprehensive picture of how energetic the area of interest is, and represent the features of the Black Sea’s diversified marine environment. Finally, the results obtained in this paper cover a broad range of applications in marine studies, being useful for future research in the area of wind climate in the Black Sea.

Summary

Introduction

Analysis of the Wind Parameters in Renewable sources of energy are not a new topic but it remains a controversial one.The 20th century energy system based on fossil fuels created an urgent need to experiment with alternatives leading to a sustainable energy future. Renewables are still far from overtaking fossil fuels in the global energy system; still, their growth is fast and contributes to a nascent and uncertain energy transition with major effects in the field of environment, economy, governance, and society. Romania is the leader of Southeast Europe in terms of onshore developments, with an installed capacity of 3 GW [4]. The development of onshore wind farms was achieved mainly in the Dobrogea plateau. In this area are concentrated almost 80% of the existing wind turbines from Romania. The largest onshore wind farm in Europe is the Fantanele–Cogealac, established in Dobrogea, having an installed capacity of 600 MW [5]
